Hi Allison! I see that you got your form letter! Hooray! I'm not sure why my son will be done early, but I don't want to jinx anything by calling the recruiter! ha ha Hope everything is going well for you. I'm just trying to stay really busy to make the time go by faster. Take care!
Hi! I don't know if you saw it but there is a 10/5 PIR group just started on N4M, so hopefully our Ryans will be in that group...i haven't gotten my form letter yet, have you?
Hi! I was shocked to find the form letter in the mailbox on Monday! I wasn't expecting it until the end of the week! Have you heard anything yet? My son is on Ship 03 DiV 316 and he graduates on Sept 28, which is early.
